City looks to build on regional economic partnerships
A previously scrapped provincial program could come back to the Prince Albert area to encourage job growth, investment opportunities and enhance economic ties.
The concept is one that has been a topic inside city hall for some time, according to agenda documents. Regional economic authorities are also a growing concept over recent decades as a way to encourage business partnerships and achieve like minded goals with shared resources.
At the helm of chalking up a framework for a local authority will be Jennifer Brooks, who pitched her case at councils latest meeting.
“I am quite excited and feel that the city is quite prudent in looking forward in doing some additional research, data collection in moving forward with a regional economic development authority framework proposal,” she said during her proposal.
